not for days, potentially four weeks. this is why they say you seek safety. this is why they say you look to your neighbor. look after your neighbor. shep is next. >> shepard: about to get a brand-new update from the hurricane center. the storm now has maximum winds of 100 miles per hour. now at 11 feet instead of 13, so that's great. just 5 miles an hour. for all of the details, let's get right to the national hurricane center for a live update? here's ken graham. >> i stand here once again in operations. the 5:00 p.m. update. the latest information still is at 100 miles per hour, slowing

down as we have advertise, moving northwest. still a pretty large storm. i want to look at the radar here. always on the center of this point, really try to look at these outer bands. that is where you have some of your strongest winds. i want to take you to the island here. we can see that the water levels are coming up off of the water, pushing the water in. actually across the bay. starting to. we will see them enter into the area. that is what we are talking about. taking a look at the latest forecast, we have been working on here. still seeing these winds far away from the center. really slowing down. 2:00 p.m. on friday, 2:00 p.m. on saturday. look. it is just absolutely amazing how slow. that is what we have been

talking about, the slowness. and speaking of the impact, look at the rainfall totals. all day long, some of these totals, 20-30 inches. and even inland, a staggering amount of rain. how this could be. still getting a 6-10 inches of rain. and some of those locally could be a lot higher than that, depending on how the system is set up and the remnants. continuing to make its landfall. so we've got to watch that for flooding. a situation in a lot of these areas. one thing that we always talk about, is something that we talk about is the storm surge. the onshore flow lows the water

inland. the rise, the longer the storm is around you get a large rise of water inland. sometimes it stretches several miles inland. look at the values around south carolina. 4-6 feet. these are the updated numbers. 7-11 feet. staggering amount of water, very dangerous. lock how far away this is from the center of the storm. you see the large values 6-9 feet. looking at newburn we see the water levels rising. especially places where the water is trapped. the longer we have the winds the further the inland the storm surge volumes could get. lock how far north we get. we are looking at the northern part of north carolina. we are keeping an aye on this. all of the aspects of this storm here at the national hurricane center. we're getting through it with you. we have to be safe from the water. this is ken graham from the

operations area. >> ken, thank you very much. let's get to the beach now. we are live from atlanta beach. leiland. >> the max winds are 75 miles an hour. the outer bands are starting to make their affect here. are you getting the sand blast, the beach sand coming with the rain, the wind out on the beach. you are starting to see the damage around this island. roofs andshingles are coming off. power outages everywhere, at our location, up and down the beach. the winds may of died down some. the storm surge has been felt here. it's starting to loosen the pie longs here on the peer. it's been around since about the 19 others. they're worried the pee the piey collapse. even homes on stilts and raised

up are no match for the storm surge. part what had the weather service was talking about rather than slamming into the side, head on it has come around to the barrier islands, they're acting like a funnel pushing the water up into coastal carolina here where it will take much, much longer for them, shepherd to, recover here. you can see some of the debris now down on the beach. this storm stalls here the damage will only get worst. of course the water damage will only get worst here, shepherd. >> leland, thank you. down 40 miles steve live from north carolina. steve, how does it look? >> shepherd, it has picked up here the last hour or . so we have strong gusts, strong enough to knock you off balance. the waves strong as well and steady rain for three to four

hours. there are people still leaving late today. heading north, south and inland. perhaps inland is the most challenging. we could see devastating flooding 30, how miles in an the coast. they're heading out, out of town, shepherd. >> steve on the beach. breaking news, north carolina governor, roy cooper, with an update on his state feeling the affects already. >> the worst of the storm is not yet here. common sense and patience. the heavy rains and high winds are likely to spread across north carolina and linger for days. right now tropical storm force winds and even hurricane force winds powerful enough to destroy buildings are at our coast.

conditions will continue to deteriorate with strong winds, heavy rainfall, and significant storm surge today and tomorrow. with the extreme storm surge along the coast rivers will start to over flow. because when flowing river waters meet the ocean surge, there is really nowhere else for the water to go. as florence moves inland we will see more rain and more flooding from our rivers. and remember that rivers keep on rising even after the rain stops. already areas of the northern cape fear river and bog sound are flooding. we're watching the noose river rise. at mid afternoon the weather service issues had 3 flas 3 -- h flood warnings. i want to thank those who have

evacuated and prepared. to anyone still unwilling to take this storm seriously let me be clear, you need to get yourself to a safe place now. stay there. we in north carolina have to shift from preparation to determination. we will survive this, and we will endure. in order to help speed more federal help i have requested an additional disaster declaration for clean up and recovery . here at the state emergency operations center people have been working around the clock. they are ready. workers are helping more than 12,000 evacuees settle at about 126 shelters across the state. they're opening more as needed

and as we speak. emergency management and fema have strategically positioned supplies and equipment across our state. food and water is ready to be disbursed wherever it's needed. emergency personnel including swift water rescue teams and emergency medical personnel from north carolina and 19 other states are stages here. earlier i visited with some of the teams prepared to help us out as we get through the storm. in fact i talked to teams from florida and ohio today. i told the team from ohio we were not going to debate who is first in flight here. they're helping us out tonight. i'm grateful to each and every one of those people. it's gratifying to drive through central north carolina and see utility trucks, earth movers and

rescue vehicles sitting there ready to go. thank you to all of those public servants who put their own lives at risk to protect the people of north carolina. as the storm hits remember to call 911. only in the event of an emergency. dial 211 if you need shelter, food or other non emergency -- >> the north carolina governor updating situations there. for a look over the next couple of lives rick is live from the fox extreme weather center. >> the storm is moving about 5 miles an hour in the forward progress. it's more west before a job off to the west/northwest there. we still don't know unfortunately what this turn will happen and where it will happen. unfortunately it will be kind of going right in the direction of

the coastline. inland would be good news t will lose the moisture source and weaken a bit off the shore. it will remain with that source keeping the winds stronger. what has been a wind and rain event is more of a rain and storm surge event and flooding with. that the winds coming down a little bit. that's good news. that said we have winds into the 70-mile an hour range. off shore into the 40s. we're in tropical storm force. we will get to hurricane later tonight. here are a couple of models here. this run shows a 45-inch rainfall total. we have said we will likely see localized areas of 45 inch. we will look at the european model. it's slightly farther to the south. that has been what the european model has been doing. you will notice the bullsaye

farther to the south. i point that out, because this brings parts of south carolina in the mix. we don't know exactly were the numbers will set up. we don't say h 45 inches in that exact spot. somewhere here will see those totals and some spots over here over a foot depending where the bands are. this water here will want to make it's way to the coast eventually. the flooding will be e exacerbated. this will be a long term flooding event. water that stands for a long time. more destructive then water that comes in and moves out. water until about sunday evening. >> thank you, rick. that's your 5:00 o'clock carolina time update on hurricane florence. more tonight on fox news channel. after a quick commercial break

the 5 is in. i will see you tomorrow.

>> hello everybody welcome to "the tpoeufb" we're keeping an aye on hurricane florence. more on the storm ahead.

first a new video adding growing concerns of anti-conservative bias to google. a leaked tape showing some of the tech giant top executives at a company meeting distraught over president trump easy election victory. >> i find this election deeply offensive. i know many of you do too. it conflicts with many of our values. >> fear not just in the united states but around the world is what is fueling concerns. zena phobia, hatred. >> that was the first moment i really felt like we were going to lose. it was a massive kick in the gut we were going to lose. it was painful. >> that's tkw why we have to wok hard that it's a blip. >> google is denying political

influences the company decisions. >> why were you laughing at that. >> i watch crying hillary supporters from election night on youtube. i think try being a gary johnson fan. i don't run around the office blubbering every day. >> i was heartbroken over. that. >> i think one of the most damaging things. the executives say we have to make sure this election of donald trump doesn't turn into a big deal. we have to make sure it's just a blip. that sounds like the most serious thing they said to me. >> i feel conflicted about this. because i -- i am ang row at goggle the fact they're always helping china with the ai. they didn't help our military. they help a competitor take over the world and hinder us. i'm not a big fan of leaked info

from companies having meetings. that could happen to us. you could of easley found five, five executives or five of us saying those same things after the election. there were a lot of people easley as blown away as shocked and drinking heavily after the trump win. we have to be careful we're not hypocrites. having said that though, this is, this is kind of interesting because what, what is going to change the world of algorithms. the people who create algorithms. those guys. if they have a liberal bias then their algorithms have a liberal bias. if their desired out come is left wing and progressive that's a issue for us. that's the problem i think. >> it's like digital redistricting. >> that's good. i like the way you think young lady. >> i'm encapsulating your

thoughts. >> want your own show. >> we pitched it once. >> they will say my partisan bias and belief system didn't affect my professional decision making. >> that's what judges say too. >> exactly. in this case peter and lisa have some power, this is probably the most powerful company. this didn't happen in a vacuum. there is left wing boy as at google. they are powerful and dislike president trump. >> they're a private company they can say whatever they want. they're not a utility. >> no. >> that's one. it's when they say there is no conservative bias at all. i don't blame them for not revealing their algorithm. at some point they have to realize them saying that doesn't equate. the other thing, we're not bias that wouldn't make sense from a

market stapdpoint why alienate more than half the country. >> they don't care that much. i think half the country is alienated by these people. they haven't made the effort to reach out -- >> i don't think half the country is alienated from google over this. >> no but big social -- >> are you kidding? >> a lot of people are against the companies. >> these companies are make huge money, most americans liberal or conservatives are customers. hate to inform you. greg son target when he said people here at fox news were shocked by the outcome of the election. >> not me, i predicted it. >> thank you. the second thing serga says he's a immigrant and refugee and offended by those at the trump raleigh. >> it's okay. >> it's okay for him to say. >> the other thing here

though -- we have to work hard. >> can i -- [inaudible] >> can i add something. >> this is unblanking believable. >> i'm sorry. >> you have a situation here where the grievance industry says we're under assault. nobody wants to hear our voices. secondly, isn't it interested. today reddit did away with a comment board -- remember pizza gate. they're banning. no they're banning hate speech. they're banning pro srobg vocat. >> number one this shows the implicit chonianism.

they wanted to be in bed with hillary. >> get out of here. >> a giant multi billion dollar corporation wanting to affect the outcome. the marriage of a giant corporation with giant government is one of the worst influences. >> we know the russians were out there. we saw it in the paper they're going after the healthcare programs to diminish support for that. >> maybe the russians bankrupted the healthcare website that obama built. >> the russians used google, twitter and others for the election. >> we have to go. liberal hollywood loses it after suzanne sarandon appears to say something nice about trump. anwe have more later.

>> a twitter tirade telling suzanne s saranadone to shut th. [bleep] up. she mentioned how many more women are running for office. >> what grade would you give him at this point. >> would i tell him to start all over again. i don't think we can grade him. you never saw that population running. so many women. like how % more women are running for office and becoming elected. >> sarandon firing back at messinger telling her to listen to what she said instead of following for variety click bait headline who is right, who is wrong, kennedy? >> i think it's fantastic. we're watching debra messinger in a shro*e and menta slow and .

suzanne s sarandon she was sayig the president is so horrible and such a inspiration that the pendulum is swinging far in the opposite direction. that would be beneficial to both of them. debra messing is thick or completely oust her mind. it's fascinating to watch this leftist cannibalism. >> jesse, you have a bernie handers supporter versus a hillary clinton supporter. this has a backdrop to it. they're going after each other saying hillary clinton is more dangerous than donald trump. remember. that now messing is saying look at healthcare, abortion rights, voter supression. how can you not admit you're wrong. >> voter supression. i think democrats are read leading in the poles. i agree with kennedy it's fun to watch left on left crime in this

country. it's enjoyable. it doesn't happen enough. think we should showcase this more on "the five." in the spirit here i will say something about you, ron. >> yes. >> have raised great conservative sons and found a way to get rich being wrong every day. well executed. i would like to say something nice about hillary. she has a great nickname, crooked. she gives us great ratings, she continues not to leave the stage. president obama he gave us donald trump. good job. i could do this all day. i think, i think it's time for someone else to take the lead. [laughing] >> i will say you should read my books. they're best sellers and made me rich. >> better than the gut felt monologue. >> i don't know about that. that's a high standard. what you get here is a situation where you take the light in the pictures. there were pictures that put out one where i think it was messing

getting arrested and suzanne -- >> s sarandon. >> and messing on a beach or porch relaxing this. is evidence that you're not really part of the resistence. >> i have to say also one of the things i can't stand. if you're a young journalism student out had don't waste a question by saying, what grade would you give a president. it is the lamest, laziest question. i'm surprised suzanne didn't fall for it she was like, i'm not going to answer that and moves on. the back handed excellent you have to be aware of. it's easy to do, you can get caught easley. >> trump already gave himself an a plus. that assess -lz it. >> as any stable genius would. >> more women are running, greg. >> more power to them, i say. she is a hot messing.

"will and grace" more like will & disgrace, america. there is no room for nuance or disagreement. you could tell what suzanne sarandon meant. messing is the late blocking leftist from hollywood. her emotion is dispropornate from her wisdom. social media dehumanized people. if she was looking at suzanne sarandon she could see what she's talking about. you can't do that on social media. i will discuss that later in the e block. that's what we call a long tease. >> it looks petty, a cat fight. >> nothing better for television. >> alright. >> oh, ya.

>> hurricane florence closing in on the east coast, folks. the latest on the nightmare storm is next with us on "the five."

>> fox news alert. the outer bands of dangerous hurricane florence starting to slam into the carolinas. wind speeds have weaken but life threatening rainfall and a surge pose a serious threat. we have live team fox coverage with chief meteorologist in the weather center and leland on the front lines in north carolina. let's go to rick who is tracking the monster storm. rick, there was an update at 5:00 o'clock? >> yes. winds came down to about 5 miles an hour. they are still a hundred miles an hour. incredibly stonning winds. hurricane force winds extending across 160 miles from this. wind gusts at hatteras -- close

to hurricane forced winds. we have flood watches in effect. flash flooding now around morehead city. we have seen around six inches of rain and we're ten to fifteen percent of the way into this. a lot more to be had. this is the latest gust. the buoy there, hurricane force winds close to the shore. it's slowed down in the forward progression at 5 miles an hour. i think it will slow a little more the next couple of hours. that's why we think the rainfall totals will be so extreme. we will see the spots here around how inches. we will see spots of the interior sections at 12 inches. more mountainous trer an in here across the appalachians. that will make it's way across the state of south carolina this. is one model run. there is a good chance that will

be farther south. if you're in south carolina don't think because you don't see it here it won't happen this. is just a model run. we don't know exactly where it lines up. i pulled out for a zoomed out version. people ask what happens after this, towards sunday and monday you get the sense that's the track. so, we will see moisture across southern parts of canada and new england. we won't see it there across the i95 corridor. i think it will go primary around it the official track the next couple of days does not move much. saturday and sunday, monday then it moves quickly eventually. the next few days is the hard part. at least through saturday with the torrential rain falls. that's why we will see the flooding. >> thank you, rick, for the hard work. back to you soon. now to leland. i don't think you have dried out all day. >> no. won't driveway out for a couple

of days, dana. since we talked at 2:30 the winds have picked up to 75-mile an hour range. it's enough to walk you over. we are between ban -dz with winds at how-45 miles an hour. we get the sand blast here walking up the beach towards you. we're walking into the wind, up the beach. that's within of the reasons the storm will have deadly and catastrophic affects inland here. the wind is being pushed in like a funnel through the barrier islands. out here on the beach certainly enough wind for fairly serious damage. mobile homes, certainly some flooding here, especially the inland side. even houses that are raised three, four, five feet on stilts. it's protection but not safety. power outages blanketing north carolina including where we are. there could be hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people without power by the time this is over.

you combine all of the water coming down, so all of the flooding. all the storm surge that is coming and all of the rain, getting the power back on will be a goliath effort over weeks if not months. we're in the beginning hours of the storm. as rick said it will stall here. that will increase the misery factor so, so much for the folks who stayed and those inland who evacuated. all they can do is watch the destruction here from the wind and rising water over the next couple of days, guys. >> leland, i have a question. you're heading into the evening and over night. how do you continue to track and monitor when it's dark? >> great question. we have a incredible crew we're out here with. we have generators and lights. we will pull back a little bit from this position here. it's pretty hard to see all the way out this distance at night. we have a low cation we scouted out for a sense of the storm

through the evening. we can keep our camera crew safe. we have a building that is steel and concrete, reinforced. we can venture out and news gather a little bit. we have generators. you have lights onto penetrate out far enough to get a sense what the wind will be like. also the damage. also importantly for us watch for rising waters in case we ourselves have to get out before being trapped. >> stay safe, leland. thank you. up next, will face-to-face conversations become a thing of the past? a growing trend and greg's take on it. ♪ i will be your shot of whiskey ♪ you be my sunny days

>> a wording to new research, teens prefer texting over talking. why does this matter? most teens think social media improves their lives for those who have poor social well being it's actually the opposite. part of this is due to the ease at which anonymous mobs can form ask attack on-line.

because people tend to imitate each other to belong social media is a constant exercise of swarm and shame when a lot of people do this together it's mob behavior. a pack of high eve hyenas screaa scalp. spend five minutes on twitter will you see it. i'm all for texting. removing contact and aye contact, it's easier to destroy each other a generation becomes a mob of cruelty out to center on someone for their own sins. iphone and twitter, we crucify daily. here is my advice for parents of teens, i am the expert. at every chance help them see the reality of their anger and the reality of a mob. why it's brave to egg on it's failure.

destroying a life on-line is seen as a coward yelling crucify him. >> wow, i can't believe this. too much. amen, brother. i can't believe we're on the same page here. i think human inter action is being derailed by the systems. >> i agree. that's why when you see something like the debra messing thing it was easier for her to go after a peer who agrees with her. you can destroy someone. >> you also don't have context in a digital communication. it's difficult to tell if someone is really upset or someone is being sarcastic. if you take it the wrong way it can ruin a friendship. both of my daughters have devices where they're able to text there. is a lot of parental control, don't get me wrong. it's scary you don't want your kids to be antisocial and dehumanized.

there is something human about reading signals on someone's face. that's how se see involve and modify our behavior accordingly. >> human inter action at the moment is like a fork in the road. it said in the poles the kids prefer texting to human content. then when they're together they say my friend is distracted and not talking to me. the human inter action something different is going on. >> it's the only times i have had to apologize in my life recently. after an e-mail, text or tweet. i get angry at something that i probably wouldn't of been angry if i had been aye contact or something. it's weird. >> yes also if you send an e-mail that sounds mean we don't know, you may of been laughing if you said it out loud. that's how you communicate. >> that's why you put "lol" dana. >> thank you for that. >> eye i' i'm hip to this.

>> my friends daughter gave up social media for lent and loves the freedom. she didn't go back. >> it's here to stay. it will continue to evolve. it's important as parents to redirect your kid. take them outside and encourage them. the nice thing about a phone for a 13-year-old is it's a great discipline device. when there is miss behavior -- >> i thought you were going to say you beat them with the phone. >> i'm not naomi campbell. >> she did that. >> she did something with a phone. >> eventually you will get a generation of kids with hunch backs. they will be blind hunch backs like this and jittery with no attention span and won't be married, because they can't score at a bar. >> if they're blind and hunchback they can go to notre

dame. >> bad. >> nice. >> should we end it there. >> we probably should even though that gives us 12 minutes for one more thing. one more thing is up next.

>> time for one more thing. now a new edition of of, yes.

okay. here we go. number one, stay away from speaking for trump. don't be an ask. [laughing] >> go mom go. >> what happens to the rule of law. stop this jesse, you sound like a immoral crook. where is your moral compass. >> they're getting shorter and meaner. >> they ask me that every day. >> no we don't. >> your colleagues are breathtaking. i'm not references diamond and silk. >> cheap shot, mom. lastly, stop talking about your hair. sorry. >> all caps. >> she's the best. >> love you mom. >> they're getting shorter. >> i'm editing. >> they're getting an angry. >> you know what i have from your mom? in my office expiration clock.

>> i think it's broken. >> it's working, brother. >> it should end at to 24. >> hopefully 2018. >> i have a sweet one this. is community come together in the wake of a heartbreaking tragedy. you get the human tragedy. ken and mary lou have been raising their grand children since the death of their son and daughter-in-law last may. they have sold their son's classic car to help raise the children. the car sold for $29,000 at auction. the new owner did the unthinkable he donated it back to the auction. it sold for another $30,000 and immediately donated back to the auction again. the car was sold for a third and final time $20,000. the new owner donated the car to the family to hang onto their

prize possession. the donations over a hundred thousand dollars to help raise two kids. >> wonderful. >> that's a beautiful story. >> beautiful. alright. >> alright. i will be on tucker tonight well. will discuss michael moore and michael avanety on tucker tonight. i will be on right before him with pithy questions, i guess. time for, this greg's favorite fan news. people don't know this, there are people outside in this area. what do you call this area? the plaza who watch our show. sometimes they react very strongly to my monologues. check out this young fella after my last monologue. so happy, look at him yelling. screaming more, more. anyways he's a bigger fan of mine. i think we're going to go out and get drinks later. >> warming up his texting

fingers. >> going home t tonight in my pocket. >> look up in the sky. able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. yes. the world's fastest human went into zero gravity for his latest race. these planes are known to train astronauts. for bolt it was the scene of his latest race. he ran against a french astronaut and marketing executive. put on by a champagne company. a glass and pot will for you designed for zero gravity. >> that's how you run after you drink. >> you should know bolt won the race and set an out of this world record. >> always about race with you. >> thank god for genius. where would we be without him.

>> kennedy. >> my garden. you have heard about it, fox nation. what is fox nation? if you go to foxnews.com will you see your very favorite fox personality from fox news and fox business. the information powerful documentaries. brand new shows, original programming, and a incredible on demand streaming service that is all yours. the access is unparallel. the programming you get -- >> what does streaming mean. >> they have a hose and sprinkle the content all over your lawn. >> you have to pay for it. >> i hope . so. >> put the full screen back again. >> put it back. yes. where is greg. there he is. all the way on the right. >> as i should be. >> below amesly. there i am be blow brit and

tomi. then we have todd on this. where is dana. >> on the top row, baby. >> right up front. >> set the pug your >> bret: i'm bret baier. the first bands of hurricane forms are hitting the east coast right now. the storm has slowed and downgraded to a category two but it doesn't mean that florence is any less dangerous. forecasters are calling from 3 feet or more of rain in some places. and a storm surge that could push 2 miles inland. you are looking right now at a shot of a flag blowing at fine pen tower, that's 34 miles off of the coast of cape fear. this was built in the 1960s torn ships of shallow waters nearby. gps technology since then has
